1986
I
jumped
into
the
bedding
industry
when
Japanese
futons
become
popular
in
Germany.
I
started
a
small
production
of
these
new
“mattresses”
and
grow
continuously
during
the
next
years.
Soon
a
lot
of
people
asked
for
more
comfort
in
this
simple
and
firm
cotton
mats
and
accordingly
I
started
to
add
a
latex
foam
sheet
in
the
middle
of
the
futons.
First
2
cm,
later
6
cm
and
at
the
end
I
found
myself
making
a
10
cm
latex foam mattress with some fibres on top.
In
1996
I
made
my
first
trip
to
Asia
to
investigate
more
in
natural
latex
foam
because
the
European
bedding
industry
at
that
time
don’t
care
much
about
the
difference
between
synthetic
and
natural
sources.
That
trip
was
my
personal
vocation!
Back
in
Germany
together
with
the
ECO
Institute
in
Cologne
I
founded
the
“Quality Association for Environmentally-Agreeable Latex Mattresses .e.V. =
(QuL e.V.)
.
Beginning
2000
I
joined
a
company
in
Bremen
(Dames-Willers
GmbH)
which
was
already
engaged
in
latex
foam
businesses
such
as
import
and
export
of
pillows
and
mattress
cores,
machinery
supply
and
other
activities.
During
the
next
13
years,
amongst
other,
I
was
responsible
for
the
budgeting,
planning,
export
and
erection
of 3 latex foam production plants:
-
2003 Sri Lanka
-
2006 Indonesia
-
2009 Guatemala
-
and more
After
finishing
the
first
project
in
Sri
Lanka
in
2003
(which
was
still
based
on
steam
vulcanization)
I
invented
a
„process
for
vulcanizing
and
apparatus
therefore”
(DE10338367)
based
on
high-frequency
heating
and
special
designed
moulds.
This
process
revolutionized
the
DUNLOP
process
dramatically

)
.
The
factory
in
Indonesia
was
the
first
in
the
world
which
was
equipped
with
this
new
production
process.
A
few
years
later
we
equipped
a
new
factory
in
Guatemala
with two separate production lines, one for pillows and another one for mattress cores.
Since 2013 I am working as free and independent consultant, entrepreneur and inventor.
